"Well... your fan base seems to be in a panic. Didn't you tell your fans that I'm here?"
Although most of her roles in the team are rap, this does not mean that Bae Zhuhyun is weak in singing.
Her voice is sweet and the timbre is quite high. Although it is definitely not as good as Son Seung-wan's monster sister who specializes in singing, she is still relatively good in the idol field.
In other words, her voice is very high.
Liu Xin'an also has a lot of say in this point. After all, he has heard Pei Zhuhyun's various high notes.
Well...in some special moments.
When Bae Zhuhyun woke up in the afternoon, she screamed out of fear, and all the water friends in the live broadcast room heard it.
Although the sound is somewhat distorted because it is transmitted through two walls, and no one can judge the timbre.
But of course I still heard it. Of course, fans still have confidence in Liu Xin'an's character. At least...even if Liu Xin'an really "cheated", he wouldn't be so big-hearted that he cheated on her live broadcast.
In other words, there is a high probability that it was the little bamboo that made that scream.
Yes, it’s the little bamboo that water friends haven’t seen for about a month!
Many water friends have started to ask Liu Xin'an what happened through various channels, but Liu Xin'an has always blocked the water friends group and notified the group, so we don't know everyone's discussion yet.
Pei Zhuxuan checked everyone's chat history with great interest, and then shared this grand occasion with Liu Xin'an with a smile.
"No, I plan to mention you as little as possible before making it public."
"Oh~ We Xin'an really want to be open to me?"
There was that kind of teasing voice again, like coaxing a child, and Liu Xin'an frowned slightly.
It's not that he's unhappy, it's just that he feels awkward.
so...
"Don't you want to? Then forget it."
"Hey, hey, forget about what? Don't forget about it!"
Pei Zhuxuan slapped the table, forget it, she hasn't spoken yet!
Liu Xin'an didn't answer, he just ate the little rice left by Pei Zhuxuan, then picked up the empty bowl in front of him, as well as the bowl that Pei Zhuxuan pushed over just now, and walked towards the kitchen.
Bae Zhuhyun, who knew that she had gone too far with her teasing, also followed behind Liu Xin'an with a playful smile.
"Are you angry? Are we, Xin'an, angry because I tease you?"
"If you're bored, you can go to the living room and watch TV."
"No, I will pester you and annoy you to death~"
Liu Xin'an quickly drained the bowl and put it in the dishwasher, then turned around and threw the water stains on his hands onto Pei Zhuhyun.
"ah!
Pei Zhuxuan screamed, first subconsciously dodged, then narrowed her beautiful eyes and clenched her silver teeth.
"You are dead!"
Regarding Bae Zhuhyun's cruel words, Liu Xin'an showed great scorn.
Is this man’s scumbag physical strength?
If he can run around the sofa for two times without lying down, then Bae Joo Hyun wins!
Five minutes later, Pei Zhuhyun lay on Liu Xin'an's back, refusing to come down at all.
As for why it developed into this posture...the reason is also very simple. Bae Zhuhyun used the tried-and-tested method of pretending to fall.
When Liu Xin'an came over nervously and worried about her, she took the opportunity to rush up.
It was also thanks to her body being soft enough that her pink arms and snow legs would not let go when entangled with them, otherwise she would not have been able to occupy such a good position so easily.
"You're not going to broadcast live tonight, why don't you stay with me?"
"Well, I wasn't going to do the live broadcast in the first place. I'll spend a lot of time with you today. It's rare for you to have a day off, and it's rare for us to see each other."
"Yeah, how about we go out on a date tonight?"
"...go out?"
Liu Xin'an was stunned and looked out the window subconsciously.
It was still very bright outside the window at this time, the time was less than six o'clock, and there was still some time before dark.
If we go out...it's not impossible.
"Yes, let's go on a date. I haven't gone on a date in a long time. How about going shopping near the Han River, taking a walk or something?"
Pei Zhuxuan's beautiful eyes were shining, and she rested her head on Liu Xin'an's shoulder expectantly, staring at Liu Xin'an's side face non-stop.
The man thought for a few seconds and finally nodded with a smile.
"good."
Just be careful not to be photographed.
...
Because she went out on a date secretly, Bae Joo-hyun also prepared her outfit carefully.
Not only did she want to dress inconspicuously and not be recognized, she also wanted to match Liu Xin'an's outfit as much as possible to create a couple's look.
Finally, after thinking for a long time, Bae Zhuhyun chose a very loose T-shirt. The hem of the T-shirt could even cover her thighs. The lower body was paired with a pair of denim shorts. The missing lower part of the shirt made her legs as wide as possible.
It looks very long.
Her iconic black hair was pulled up and hidden in a peaked cap, and she put on a mask that covered most of her face.
"How is it~"
Pei Zhuhyun, who only showed a pair of beautiful eyes and a pair of snowy legs, had her hands on her hips, looking forward to Liu Xin'an's answer.
Liu Xin'an in front of her was also wearing a loose gray T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and an orange peaked cap.
It's just that he wasn't wearing a mask.
"It's so beautiful that you can't take your eyes away."
"Is it obvious?"
Needless to say, Bae Joo Hyun's eyes are quite recognizable.
But now that the sky has darkened, if fans don't come to Bae Zhuhyun and stare at her non-stop, the chance of being discovered is still not that high.
"No, but...take off the hairpin."
As long as there are fans who pay attention to Bae Zhuhyun, it is impossible not to recognize this hairpin. The recognition is too high.
The pink lips hidden under the mask were pursed, and there was reluctance in Bae Zhuhyun's eyes, but she still obediently took off her cap and hairpins from her hair.
"I have a hat, so I won't be discovered."
"Can you guarantee that you will always wear your hat honestly?"
This time Bae Zhuhyun stopped talking. She really couldn't guarantee it.
but...
"You should also wear a mask. Now you are considered a public figure. I was not recognized. It will be very troublesome for you to be recognized."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well, that's right, I'll get one."
Soon, the "headless couple" who had finished covering up came together to take a selfie.
Immediately afterwards, this selfie was quickly sent to their group group chat by Bae Zhuhyun.
...
Seulgi: Where are we going?
Wendy: Sister Zhuhyun, please thank your brother-in-law for us! We will enjoy the vacation he asked for for us!
Yelin: My sister and Liu Xin'an really match each other very well. To tell you the truth, I am also a CP fan of Sister Zhuhyun and Liu Xin'an!
"Hahahaha, the children are all thanking you for the vacation."
Bae Joo-hyun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, lowered her head and pressed her cell phone while showing off her unique and charming laugh.
The laughter that sounded like a demon's voice made Liu Xin'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in laughter.
"Tell them not to just thank me verbally. You have to treat me to a big dinner anyway, right?"
"Well, let me tell everyone...well, Seulgi said that it would be okay to use the front row tickets for our singing stage as a thank you gift?"
"What kind of thank you gift is this? Besides, you guys have to give me this thing. I can't just say it and it will go away." Liu Xin'an couldn't laugh or cry. It was true that he was easy to spend, but he wasn't so cheap!
"Well, then I'll take a look..."
Taking advantage of the break at the traffic light, Liu Xin'an cast his eyes on Bae Zhuhyun who was lowering her head and pressing her cell phone. Bae Zhuhyun pulled the mask to her chin to reveal her stunning little face. Even as the boyfriend of the owner of this face, Liu Xin'an would still
I am shocked by the beauty of the other person.
"Speaking of which, when you come back this time, won't there be a concert?"
The concert has a special meaning for Liu Xin'an and Bae Zhuhyun.
After all, it was at S-M's family concert that Liu Xin'an learned about Bae Zhuhyun's identity, so if possible... he wanted to go to a serious concert of his girlfriend as Irene's boyfriend.
However, Liu Xinan also checked on the Internet, and did not find too many concert records of Pei Zhuhyun and the others.
It seems like it was only one or two games.
"Concert? I've never heard of such a plan. I guess there won't be any arrangements for us during the gap period after this comeback. The details will depend on the results."
Pei Zhuxuan put away her mobile phone and stopped chatting and joking with her sisters. Instead, she glanced at Liu Xin'an, turned to look at the scenery outside the window, and replied softly.
"No? That's it..."
"However, we will still be invited to some platter concerts, school celebrations, music festivals, etc. You can go there to watch them."
"Right."
Liu Xin'an no longer insisted. He parked the car in the parking lot according to the navigation and got out of the car first.
Then he came to the passenger seat, opened the door for his girlfriend, and made an inviting gesture with a smile.
Pei Zhuxuan raised her head slightly with satisfaction and walked out of the passenger seat.
Then, Liu Xin'an glanced at the pair of sneakers under Pei Zhuhyun's feet with a strange expression.
This pair of sneakers seemed to have a magical effect. The petite woman in front of him actually grew a lot taller to the naked eye.
"you..."
"Shut up!"
Pei Zhuhyun glared at Liu Xin'an fiercely, then took the initiative to put her little hand into Liu Xin'an's hand, tilting her head and looking at the bustling streets of Seoul.
"I want to drink coffee~"
"good."
Liu Xin'an was obedient and did not continue to care about Pei Zhuhyun's magical pair of sneakers, height-increasing shoes... Although he has never worn them, he must have seen them before.
After all, the height difference between them is too big. They are usually fine at home, but now when they go out... In order to look more harmonious, Pei Zhuhyun put a little thought into this aspect.
Walking with your significant other in the night view of Seoul is a very romantic thing. Yoo Shin-an doesn't drink coffee, so there was only Bae Joo-hyun who was far away from the driveway holding a cup of coffee in her hand.
For the sake of safety, Liu Xin'an specifically found a place where there was not a lot of personal traffic. The night view here may not be as good as some of the more prosperous areas, but for Pei Zhuxuan, who had not been out for a long time, it was still quite satisfactory to her.
Bae Joo Hyun, who was holding the coffee, looked east and west, and after confirming that no one was nearby, she opened her mask and took a sip of the coffee, then narrowed her beautiful eyes with satisfaction.
Even at night, it is still very hot in this season.
"Many people say that you all have coffee flowing in your body. Why can't I get used to drinking this stuff?"
Liu Xin'an took the Ice American style from Pei Zhuhyun's hand, took a sip after looking at it, and then showed a twisted expression.
"Well, it just tastes like ordinary coffee. Rather, I can't understand why you can't drink coffee. Are you a picky eater?"
"How can it be."
"Hehe, there's no need to force yourself."
Pei Zhuxuan smiled and reached out to hold Liu Xin'an's arm. She relaxed and leaned against Liu Xin'an, looking very intimate.
"I plan to pick up some physical albums from your comeback in my live broadcast room later. Then you can prepare a few sets of albums with your signatures for me."
"Well, draw? Do you mean draw?"
"right."
Nowadays, the composition of Liu Xin'an's water friends group is extremely complex, and sometimes he can even see someone in the water friends group specifically staring at weird IDs like [Bae Zhuhyun's boyfriend]...
If it weren't for the fact that their relationship hadn't been completely exposed, he would have definitely changed the person's ID directly!
From this point, it is not difficult to see that many fans have actually come to know Bae Joo Hyun and even the girl group Red Velvet through him.
It's not an exaggeration to think that he gave Bae Zhuhyun an advertisement.
In fact, there are similar situations. A few days ago, some netizens shared a novel called "My Artist Neighbor" in the netizen group. It seems that it is also about Bae Zhuhyun.
Liu Xin'an took a moment to take a look when he was bored, and then turned it off with a weird look on his face.
Similar to this kind of fan fiction... in fact, there are also a group of fujoshi fans who have written it.
Male and female... No, to be precise, the prototypes of the male protagonists are him and Sanren.
It sounds terrible.
That's too far.
With such complex water friends, it’s not too much for Liu Xin’an to borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha, right?
This relationship does not go to waste. In the past, when giving out gifts in live broadcast draws, Liu Xin'an had to pay for them out of his own pocket, or take out the gifts given to him by game manufacturers.
Now...he's just having sex for free!
By the way, you can also advertise to your girlfriend.
"Of course you can. You can just ask Brother Taiqian for it. Your relationship is pretty good, right?"
"Well, I just wanted to inform you."
Pei Zhuxuan paused, rolled her eyes at Liu Xin'an angrily, and then gave Liu Xin'an the mobile phone in her hand.
“Take my picture!”
At this time, she happened to arrive near a beautiful flower bed. Pei Zhuhyun came to a place with no one around and her back to the road. She carefully pulled down her mask and showed a bright smile to Liu Xin'an.
Liu Xin'an would naturally cooperate to satisfy this requirement. He pressed the shutter and recorded the beautiful scene in front of him.
———
The occasional couple's daily routine ended quickly, and this date also greatly recharged Bae Zhuhyun, who had been extremely tired both physically and mentally recently.
Then she devoted herself to her work with even greater vigor.
Liu Xin'an, on the other hand, waved goodbye to his girlfriend and focused on his work the next day.
Just like that, time flew by and another half a month passed.
There are only two days left before Red Velvet's return.
...
Return, also known as "e back", generally refers to an artist's return to performing arts activities. Due to the small market size and the involution of the artist industry, most artists carry out performing arts activities every once in a while.
The one to two months after the release of a new album is the promotion period for the artists.
During this period, artists have to participate in various singing activities, radio activities, filming of variety shows, and various interview shows to promote the new album.
After this busy period has passed, they will enter the blank period again and carry out their own personal work.
For Red Velvet, where Bae Joo Hyun belongs, this return is their return after two years.
Originally, they were on the verge of becoming a hit with their song "Psycho" in 2019, but due to an accident and Son Seungwan's injury, they had to cancel their expected hit comeback early.
After Son Seung-wan recovered from his injury, in 2020, Bae Joo-hyun was placed in cold storage by the company for a year due to personal problems, which once again postponed their original return by one year...
The two-year gap period has been very painful for their fans. Fortunately, this time fans finally don't have to wait any longer.
The concept of the album, photos, and various pictorials have been spread all over the Internet under the operation of S-M.
"Ah~ It's because I haven't returned for so long. Why did I suddenly become so nervous?"
Jiang Seulqi, who was sitting in the nanny's car, leaned to her side, resting her head on Bae Zhuhyun's shoulder, and whispered softly.
"Get some sleep. You won't be nervous when you fall asleep."
Pei Zhuxuan whispered back, her eyes locked on the mobile phone in her hand, and on the screen of the mobile phone was a chat box between her and someone.
She didn't pause the screen, which meant that it didn't matter if Kang Seulgi saw it.
Jiang Seulqi also understood this tacitly. Sleeping is a choice, and gossiping is also a choice.
Between the two, Kang Seulgi chose the latter.
She also knew the person Pei Zhuxuan was chatting with, it was Liu Xin'an's hair boy Li Chenglu.
As for the content...
"Well, does Cheng Lu want to come see our singing show?"
The album was officially released on August 16th, and the other songs will be released on Music Bank on August 20th.
Playing songs is also an extremely important part of the comeback. Most of the groups that have returned at the same time will participate in singing shows. If they win one place in the singing competition, which is the first place, it will be a great help to their fame.
And this kind of singing stage will be open to fans.
"Well, she said she wanted to come and see it."
"Hey~ Liu Xin'an, do you want to come over?"
It doesn't matter whether Li Chenglu comes or not. What Jiang Seulqi is really curious about is whether Liu Xin'an will also come to watch the recording of the song.
"...How do I know? I'll ask him then."
This ordinary answer made Jiang Seulqi not very satisfied. She wanted to see some cute expressions on Bae Zhuhyun's face.
Like shy~
Like being excited~
Or something like nervousness.
"Does Sister Zhuhyun want him to come over?"
"Yeah, you should just sleep peacefully and ask questions, keep asking."
Pei Zhuxuan knew that this person only wanted to hear gossip, so she laughed and cursed and shook her shoulders.
